Time.

Tuesday

It hit me today. Where did the time go? When did I start getting so old so fast? I know I'm really far from old, but I guess what I really mean to say is how did 21 years come and go so fast, and how fast will the next 21 years be? Growing old frightens me. Not because I'm afraid of aging, but mostly because it's completely out of my control. Whether I take advantage of every second or if I waste my time away, growing up and growing old will be here the exact same time. When I'm 30, I'll be 30; when I'm 50, I'll be 50; when I'm 80, I'll be 80. Nothing I can do will slow down time, if I'm blessed to even reach those ages at all. Time is precious. Time isn't promised. Time is on its own schedule. Today I've been reminded of a lot of things, but mostly that time is a gift. To remember to use it wisely, because once it's gone, it's gone.

Time is such a crazy thing ... I just turned 27, and the realization hits me a few times each month. Everything flying so quickly ... sometimes it's refreshing, other times, it's hard to process. All that matters is that each day is lived with love.

that's what scares me about time, too, that it's out of my hands. my brother told me time appears to move faster as we get older, also a scary thought.but I try to appreciate time and not worry about it too much. Thank you for this lovely post. :)

Such a lovely picture. And great thoughts to go behind it. I really felt the weight of time and how fast it has went this past month as I turned 26. It's crazy to see a number and not feel like it's quite possible. Time definitely is a gift that God gives us!

I am in love with these words. you are certainly wise beyond your years. however, time does trick us, and it goes by too quickly. when I think about how I'm 25, sometimes I want to cry. I feel so much younger, and yet I feel like I haven't accomplished what I would have wanted to accomplish by this point in my life.

I'm in my mid 30s, and over the past few years time has gone more quickly than ever before. It is scary. And a huge lesson. Everyday is more precious to me now. I'd say you've gotten quite far for being as young as you are! xo

i agree, the whole term of time hit me in my twneties, i mean i am 22 now but i realized i need to start using time properly, savoring it and relishing in it. to attain what i want and my dreams. to laugh and love and be present.

have been having a rough day. i don't usually even look at the music you post, in all honesty, but today i did. first aid kit has been a favorite of mine for some years now. i was so happy to see that you are a fan, as well.

Yes, it's too true. As a 24 year old I tell teenagers to take advantage of the time they have in high school and not waste it. And now that I'm this age, I feel the same pressure! Every age has significant change, emotion, and meaning. All ages should be valued, respected, and lived well!

very well said, you've reminded me to make teh most out of my day, even if it is boring at work, im going to make the most of my time. have you ever read teh theory that time does not exist at all, and that life is all just an instant? i think you'd be interested in it you should take a look x

This post is definitely resonating with me because I have been thinking about this very thing a lot lately. I turned 27 (27!) in January and it made me realize that time seems to be going by quicker the older I get. It's a good reminder to be thankful for all the time I've had on this earth so far and to really focus on making the most of it in the future.

I totally realized that the other day. It feels like just yesterday that going to college seemed like such a huge deal...and now I'm only one year away from being done. Things change so quickly and life throws curve-balls at you but it's wonderful to be able to rest in the fact that God holds our future and all of our days and recognizes such unique, special significance in every little thing we do...even if they sometime seem to go by quickly and often, it seems, unnoticed.

You're old when you have to calculate when people ask your age. Well, I have been old for some years now. I seriously have lost count... and I am only 29. Yup, only. I feel a lot younger and sometimes I feel a lot older. Like about hundred. :) Life's a journey and none of us knows how long it will last or how it will turn out. In the end time, age etc are just numbers we use to help us to organize the human world and make some sense (because numbers make sense?). I guess the perfect solution would be to make the make the most of our time and forget all about the numbers.
